This June, the BTS-Community will be celebrating Pride Month, a time dedicated to uplifting the voices, celebrating the culture, and supporting the rights of the LGBTQ+ community! During the month of June, we invite you to consider what Pride means to you.

Using one or more of the following lyrics from the solo work of the BTS Hyung Line, write a 1,000-2,000 word story that connects to the meaning of Pride for you.

"Not so different you and I

Lookin' for love in a different light

Until we find that equal sign"

J-Hope (Jack in the Box), "Equal Sign"

"Just as the Milky Way shines upon the darkest roads

You were shining towards me

The only light found in the darkness

On my path to you"

Jin, "The Astronaut"

"Things change, people change, everything change

Love change, friends change, everyone change

It is no strange

That's the world's shape"

RM (Indigo), "Change pt. 2"

"They say life's a struggle between resistance and submission

I say it's a struggle against loneliness

If you can't hold it back, it's okay to cry

You're already more than enough to be loved"

Agust D (Suga of BTS) feat. IU (D-Day), "People Pt. 2"
